one Co (feds Seeds to Case ddritain S Shortage
Film Actress
Gilmore Prods
’die Women
By Bil l- WICKKKSHAM
Hpertal IHk OfTtOll TIMKS
HOLLYWOOD. April 1
IlflTH the hearty vigor that he
” gives to ever> screen role.
Ra*i! Rathhonr i< gathering up
vegetable seeds like everything,
and Virginia Gilmore, who is
usually sweet and docile, has
her dander up o\er idle femme*
who refuse to give time and aid
to victory vvork. and. with her
' Bundles for Bluestockings.” she
has a novel way of shaming
them into activity.
I'nanimouslv re-elected presi
dent of the British War Relief
Society, Basil has launched a
"seed campaign to relieve the
vitamin vegetable shortage in
England.
Realizing that every English
man is an enthusiastic gardener,
even when he has only the
Tim*-T patch of land to plant,
the idea is to send seeds instead
of weighty vegetables. Each seed
package is \alued at sl. and the
content is sufficient to supply a
family of four with vegetables
for a season.
Saves on Shippiog
“A* compared to shipping the
actual v portables," explained
Basil, ‘‘the plan save* about 40.-
000 tons of shipping.”
Already 400.000 such packets
have been sent by the national
organization, and eventually the
local society plans to send 500.-
000 seed parcels from southern
California alone.
Two hundred and thirty un
patriotic local women who have
plenty of leisure, recently re
ceived sharp letters from a new
organization knowrn as "Bundles
for Bluestockings.” and. which
has Virginia Gilmore as its
president.
Definition of One
According to Ihe dictionary, a
“bluestocking” is a woman who
affects an interest in literature
and culture to the virtual exclu
sion of all else. They idle away
their time and. in this case, re
main completely aloof to the
present war emergency.
“We cannot draft these women
In any way,” said Virginia, who.
aside from her work in Samuel
Goldwyn’s "The Pride of the
Yankees,” gives every spare mo
ment to the Beverly Hills Red
Cross Motor Corps and the USO.
“hut prrhap* we ran embarrass
them Into volunteering their
service*. So we are sending
them bundles of letters every
day from all our members to
remind them that their service*
are needed. Hence the title.
'Bundles for Bluestockings.' ”
A Sample Letter
A sample letter follows:
"Dear Madam:
“It has come to our attention
that various civilian defense
agencies and moral groups have
Invited you to join in their ae
tlvltles from time to time, with
out any response from you.
“The United States Is engaged
In an all-out war. ,
“It Is the duty of every citizen
to assist in bringing that war

to a successful conclusion.
“Busy women, who have only

“You, too. can help!
“Women like you who have

Random thoughts of the
week:
Ann Sot hern probably will file
her divorce suit in Reno as soon
as "Panama Hattie” is straight
ened out. If the picture is post
j>oned long enough to allow her
the six weeks required legal resi
dence. she will leave right away.
Hedy Lamarr and George
Montgomery will pass their
honeymoon on an Arizona ranch
they’re thinking of buying.
Asta, the cute f>ooch which
has been down with the flu, was
able to return to work on "Across
the Pacific.” but he has to rest
in a special bunk between scenes!
Rita Hayworth hat lost seven
pounds since her marital trou
bles.
Ran into Evelyn Brent on the
Para lot—and she looks wonder
ful. It was here she jpade her
biggest hit in "Underworld,” and
she feels this studio is lucky for
her. 1 hope so, for there are few
better actresses than Evelyn.
Stars Have Eyes on Role
The eastern night club craze,
the revived square dance, hasn't
hit the Hollywood s|»ots yet. But
Roy Rogers is .getting fan mail
galore from the east from
former rugcutters who want to
know’ how to call and dance the
"square.” So Roy. who is an
export, is putting out a little
book. •
Joan Crawford isn't the only
staf who wants to do "May
Flavin " Both Barbara Stanwyck
and Greer Garson have their
hearts set on it.
Laraine Day and Hedy La
marr were lunching in the M-G-M
commissary. After considerable
femme talk about clothes, beaux
and so on. they got on the sub
ject of crying real tears for ihe
camera.
“I just can’t cry," said Laraine.
“I ran never think of anything
sad.”
“i can cry," said Hedy. "1 ran
weep bucketfuls whenever I
want to.”
“What do you think abouf,"
asked Laraine.
“Ecatacy!” said 'Hedv.
